I think this is not how you're supposed to use symlinks. If you touch
area under /usr/local by hand, you should expect to know what's
happening and cope with it.
What's happening, most probably, on portupgrade squid:
1) it deletes old squid. because /usr/local/squid is part of plist,
it removes this directory (ie. your symlink) too
2) it installs new squid into /usr/local
What you really want is to install squid into different PREFIX.
